Summary
Ziqiang Zhang is a Senior Software Engineer based in Suzhou with 10 years of experience building high-throughput, low-latency backend services in C# and .NET Core/Framework. At Microsoft he engineered systems that serve billions to trillions of requests daily, redesigned legacy IIS apps into unified .NET Core services with gRPC and HTTP APIs, and cut cache refresher traffic by over 80%. He combines hands-on full-stack development with production-focused testing and monitoring, and mentors engineers to raise team reliability and throughput. Known for squeezing API latency into single-digit milliseconds and operating globally distributed key-value services with five-nines+ reliability, he brings deep practical expertise in scalable cloud architecture. An unexpected strength is his track record of translating performance work into measurable operational wins—lower latency, higher availability, and significantly reduced request load.
